'Business Model Innovation is the Fastest Path to Greatness' - Forbes

"I consider this the fourth era of innovation, following the era of the lone inventor, corporate lab, and the venture-backed startup. Fourth era companies are thinking about innovation holistically – not just introducing new features or functions but entirely new business models. They are building ecosystems involving startups and NGOs. They are tackling big social problems like making healthcare more affordable or bringing clean water to broader populations.

This work isn’t being done by faceless committees within large companies. Every case that I have studied features what I call a “corporate catalyst” – an individual that marshals the resources inside their company and combines it with entrepreneurial energy outside the company." -- Scott Anthony
